Slow Cooker Italian Meatball Stew

6.0

1 lb. extra lean ground beef ((use at least 96% lean meat, since you will not drain the fat once it's cooked))

⅓ cup Italian style seasoned breadcrumbs

1 egg

2 tablespoons milk

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

¾ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon pepper

2 carrots, peeled and sliced into bite-sized rounds

6 ounces tomato paste

2 cups beef broth, plus additional (to thin to desired consistency, as needed)

½ cup marinara sauce

1 teaspoon seasoned salt (such as Lawry’s)

½ teaspoon oregano

½ teaspoon basil

1 (10.8 ounce) package frozen Italian-style vegetables (I used Birds Eye Steamfresh Italian Blend)

Optional, for serving: cooked pasta or rice

Optional garnish: fresh parsley; fresh basil

Place carrots in bottom of slow cooker.
In a large bowl, use hands or a fork to gently combine meatball ingredients. Form meat mixture into 1-inch balls.
Place meatballs on top of carrots in the slow cooker.
In a separate bowl, combine tomato paste, broth, marinara, seasoned salt, oregano, and basil. Pour over meatballs.
Cover and cook on LOW for about 4 hours or on HIGH for about 2 hours. For a thinner soup rather than a stew, add extra broth until it reaches desired consistency.
Steam vegetables in microwave just until crisp-tender (about 3-4 minutes). Stir vegetables into stew and serve over pasta or rice, if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley or fresh basil.
